I'm in a bit of a dilemma and need your help BP! I was able to get in touch with the owner of a property that I have been looking to wholesale. I get the property owners phone number to find out that he is deceased. I end up talking with his mother for a bit and shes gives me the name of the mortgage company who has taken over the house. She let me know that she couldn't afford the taxes on the property. I'm guessing there may be a tax lien on the property at this point. I tried getting in touch with the mortgage company not know what the heck I was going to say but they were closed but I plan on calling back in the morning. I'm not really sure what to say to the mortgage company in the morning about the property. Any ideas on how to proceed?

It probably won't be a big deal for you to just go ahead and tell them you're interested in buying the house and you want to know the status and the next steps to resolving it. From there, find out the details and post again.
